1690 Samuel Pepys 1ed State of Royal NAVY of England Glorious Revolution SHIPS
Samuel Pepys was a 17th-century English naval administrator and politician who is best-known for his diary. His diary was a daily journal account of his life, kept for nearly ten years. It is an important and thoroughly detailed account of Pepys's life as well as major British events and life in London from the second half of the 1600s.
Interestingly, only one work of Pepys was published during his lifetime. His 'State of the Royal Navy of England' was published in 1690 and covers the state of the Royal Navy leading up to the Glorious Revolution and his demands for change. Notable topics include:
· the naval interactions with commerce ships
· the costs of new ships in the navy
· methods of acquiring new ship hands
· how to ready ships
· and much more!
Pforzheimer says of this work:
"Upon this he lavished a great deal of thought and care. It represents a side of Pepys' life which is apt to be ignored."
